*NIGHT SHIFT {[(Karl Petersen)F2 x (Gail Fox)F2] x Mardi Gras Ball} 6" Fl., 19" Sc., M., 20 buds. My most exciting picotee edge to date. I, personally, have not seen an edge of pitch black like this on a tetraploid daylily to date. This cream purple flower has a dark purple/black eye and a deep black picotee edge above a lime green throat. To add to the the exciting and dramatic color contrasts NIGHT SHIFT is also a slight bi-tone, with the sepals being of a lighter cream purple. This flower carryies the heavy substance of its parent Gail Fox. My only complaint is that I have not captured completely the glittering black edge in the above photograph, but it is close.
